Tolerance and the Quran

I have to respond to David Huff's letter to the Voice of the People ["Quran Burning Does Not Follow Religious Tolerance," Aug. 30]. Mr. Huff is correct in saying burning the Quran is wrong. Burning any book is wrong.However, he's wrong if he thinks anyone should be tolerant of a book that calls me an infidel and calls for my death if I don't convert to Islam. I will not respect or tolerate any book that enslaves women and calls for the death of nonbelievers as the Quran does.In studying history, I was enlightened that the author married a rich woman, then produces this great religious book that called for this subjugation of women. It's no wonder Middle Eastern men embraced this religion. They can do no wrong.Mr. Huff cites the Bible about tolerance. Maybe he should try to find passages in the Quran that preach tolerance.JOHN R. EDWARDSLakeland
